One of the things I learnt this holiday is that Gothic has nothing to do with the twiddly bits often associated with the style, but it's the shape of the arch itself.<br /><br />PG - I wonder if it could be workrd into a visit to Karen's, either on the way or on the way back?<br /><br />Your first sentence sums up my feelings too :) I must admit I didn't feel that good on the Swiss Bridge hence the lack of photo. We met a couple on the way round - 2 very sturdy cyclists. The husband was being very wobbly about the heights.<br /><br />Concersation in the cafe was extremely lively afterwards because everyone's so happy to have made it round. We suggested that they should issue <i>I Survived The Follies</i> certificates to everyone at the end!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-13349283709434225132010-10-06T19:36:22.029+01:002010-10-06T19:36:22.029+01:00One of my favourite places: fabulously mad and ple...One of my favourite places: fabulously mad and pleasingly hazardous.<br />I went there a few years ago to film with Joe Swift.
